The $0.99 all-inclusive .CO promo will kick off on this Sunday night at 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET, which is 00:00 GMT on Monday morning. It will last 7 days.

All domains registered at Epik include:

- Free WHOIS privacy
- Free SSL parking landers
- Free forwarding
- Free basic Wordpress site
- Free listing in Epik marketplace for selling/leasing

Brandable names are doing particularly well in the after-market for .CO, e.g. 7 letters or shorter, pronounceable .co can be registered for $0.99 and sold for retail prices as brands.

I have no idea why people buy .AI and .IO when they get the more reputable and cheaper .CO and get the first year basically for free.

I thought you Brits just get back from the pub at that hour. :)

In all seriousness, just prepare the list and hit the submit button. Alternatively, if you are buying in bulk but need your beauty sleep, we can buy them for you. Just send your list and we'll submit them.

DWI (domaining while intoxicated) Is Not The Best Idea :xf.confused:

Yep, I Do Need My Beauty Sleep :xf.laugh:

Thanks @Rob Monster Will Let You Know If I Need A Bulk Buy.

We don't have time for the pub to busy scanning domain lists if you can start it earlier it will help :xf.smile:

DONE.

The .CO HAPPY HOUR will run from 2-4 pm PT daily from today through Tuesday.

Also, for those of you who tired to dropcatch .CO today on Epik, and were expecting a higher catch rate, we did have 1000+ .CO domain bulk buy go through at that moment. We are going to make an adjustment to prioritize creates on pending-delete names so that standard GA buys don't take precedent over dropcatches.

I don't normally register domains for our own account, but I just saw someone get a $15,000 order for FloridaProbate.com and likely ends up paying more.

It prompted me to check the status of .CO, and shockingly almost all the other states were available.

If anyone wants to flip that portfolio, happy to split the proceeds 50/50.

The point is that there is still an abundance of exploitable niches wide open for registration that were probably never registered in .CO but should be.

Correct .

The next happy hour is today 2-4 pm PT: UNLIMITED GA $0.99 .CO registrations.

The .CO transfers are ongoing at $20.99 unlimited.

For anyone with bulk needs, feel free to send lists with 500+ available .CO domains via email or direct message and we can process them at $0.99 that way

We continue to see folks registering high potential .CO by the hundreds at a time often clustered around themes and niches.

Also our SSL landers are continuing to index, and sometimes rank, especially when populated with custom SEO content. The landers can also use your own Google Analytics, which I encourage you to use.

As for domain transfers, keep in mind that some .CO domains are premium. So, a GA .CO domain is $20.99 but a premium .CO might be more. I have found .CO to be fairly priced -- much more fairly than .TV or any Donuts TLD, for example. For example, Avocados.co just transferred for $23.60. If anyone has premium .CO that they intend to keep, Epik will almost always be able to match or beat any registrar for .CO transfer/renewal price.

For the folks who are buying these cheap domain, PRO TIP for you. With the Epik SSL landers, you can install your own Google Analytics code. Apparently some bulk buyers did not realize this but it works today.

https://www.epik.com/support/knowledgebase/enable-a-coming-soon-or-domain-parking-page/

Each parking lander can have custom SEO, analytics, favicon, and actually WYSIWYG multi-media content right on the page. Each lander gets its own unique 4096-bit SSL as well. All free, even for .CO domains that folks are buying by the thousands.

I prepared a list, set and alarm and wake up (2:30 AM in the morning) just to realize that the hour is still not happy.

What happened wrong? Yesterday promo was working at this time.

Dot.CO happy hour is open for next 2 hours -- $0.99 for all-inclusive .CO.

Bulk search here:

epik.com/bulk

For awareness, our standard limit for bulk search is 500 domains per bulk search. That said, this can be increased by request.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the last day of this most excellent promo. The promo ends on Tuesday 5 pm PT, which is midnight GMT. We don't know when we can do such a great promo again so have at it.

We do have some ability to do interest-free Domain Loans for folks who need to borrow a bit while they sell other domains. Details about domain loans can be found here.

Good luck!

I have some nice news to share on a .CO bootstrap success story. I just saw a registrant sell albanyrealestate.co and albuquerquerealestate.co for $1000 EACH.

This was after acquiring them for $0.99 each on July7. That is some very nice ROI. In total the seller bought less than 200 .CO domains but has already fully recovered his investment.

In other words, even before the credit card bill was due on the purchase of these names, the domain investors, fully paid all of his .CO domains for the next year and has ~$1800 profit.

And for the real estate domain buyer, they got a nice price too. Win-win.

I believe anyone can do this with decent quality .CO domains at $0.99, especially when combined with a free SSL parking lander from Epik.

Great...When is the Next Happy Hour?

Let's start it now.

We'll keep .CO at $0.99 for the final day of the sale. The sale ends at 5 pm PT on Tuesday, which is 18.5 hours. I don't know if we'll get such a deal again so make good use of it.

Good luck to all.
